LE4 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside LE4 (Leicester). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical LE4 6 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £294,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 286%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LE4 6 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+37.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +15.3% | +12.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.0% | +0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.0% | +3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.6% | +1.7% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 23 LE4 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 170 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
How LE4 6 trades
This is a thin market: 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within LE4, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around LE4 6
The local authority for LE4 6 is Leicester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,024 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £717 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,459 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Leicester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £294,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,024 a month (£12,288 a year) works out at a 4.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

On the market in LE4 today
Turning to what is actually available: 252 homes on the market right now, from 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LE4 district, not just LE4 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 22% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

The price of an extra bedroom in LE
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LE area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £285,000 | £380,000 (+33%) | £560,000 (+47%) | £795,000 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £242,000 (+15%) | £282,000 (+17%) | £360,000 (+28%) | £500,000 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £183,000 | £205,000 (+12%) | £243,500 (+19%) | £310,000 (+27%) | £402,500 (+30%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
